of experience to participate. This is a ride not a race. The average rider
raises over $2,020. Our participants come from across the State of Florida from
as far south as Key West, as far North as Jacksonville, from Tampa to Palm
Beach. We attract between 400-500 participants with each event, but we touch
thousands more on the road as we travel between cities and towns, and with each
donation that is made. Last year, close to 10,000 people donated to our efforts
– that’s quite an impact! Riders and crew range in age from 18 to 73. To
